Today’s guest deejay is Shad Marsh.
Shad shared a mix on Soundwave a few years back. Today he shares a mix no less remarkable. His mix explores immersion and isolation.
I’m writing this in the evening from my kitchen table. My patio door is open, and there’s a perfect cool breeze. Shad’s mix is playing in the background, and it feels like an ode to spring. I hope my neighbors are enjoying Shad’s mix as music as I do.
Shad lives in the mountains of western North Carolina. His radio show 2000 Years of Radio can be heard Sunday mornings on 103.3fm in Asheville, NC, and on the web. You’d be doing yourself a favor if you tuned in.
Shad also shares a poem from William Carlos Williams , which you can find below. How nice is that? I may ask future guest deejays on Soundwave to share poems as well.
Speaking of guest deejays, next week features a mix from Jacob Newman.
See you then.

“Lifeless in appearance, sluggish,
dazed spring approaches —
They enter the new world naked,
cold, uncertain of all
save that they enter. All about them
the cold, familiar wind—
Now the grass, tomorrow
the stiff curl of wild-carrot leaf.
One by one objects are defined —
It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf,
But now the stark dignity of
entrance — Still, the profound change
has come upon them; rooted they
grip down and begin to awaken”
—W.C. Williams
